Liechtenstein's public radio station ceases broadcasting after voters withdraw funding

Tiny Liechtenstein’s public radio broadcaster is to disappear from the airwaves after voters decided to pull state funding and the government was unable to find a way to privatize it. Radio Liechtenstein said on its website that it would cease broadcasting at 6 p.m. Thursday. It said that “after nearly 30 years as a radio station in the principality, the voice of Liechtenstein is bowing out of the ether." In a referendum in October, 55.4% of those who voted decided to scrap legislation that granted state funding to Radio Liechtenstein at the end of 2025.
